Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur 'keeping tabs on Ezri Konsa'

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly identified Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa as a potential transfer target.

The 23-year-old has established himself as a key man at Villa Park, making 45 appearances in the Premier League since his arrival in July 2019.

While the centre-back is yet to break into the England setup, it appears that at least two English giants are monitoring his development.

According to The Athletic, Liverpool and Spurs are contemplating whether to launch a bid for Konsa during the summer window.

Liverpool have made frequent changes in defence this season due to injuries, while Spurs have looked more open at the back as the season has progressed.

Konsa's contract is due to expire in 2023, a situation which is likely to lead to Villa instigating talks over a renewal in the near future.
